By distillation process.
It is used today to make saltwater drinkable when you are at sea
Oceans and seas are comprised of saltwater, and rivers are comprised of freshwater(drinkable, or potable)
it is made drinkable by people trying not to pee in there and by cleaning it with a filter tube.
97% is saltwater 2% is frozen in ice caps1% is drinkable
0.5% _2% Only 0.37% of the water on the earth is drinkable. See the following article for more information on it. http://academic.evergreen.edu/g/grossmaz/MURPHYMW/
the densities are different (Saltwater has a greater density than freshwater.)
Only 3% of the worlds water is drinkable. Of that 2% is locked in glaciers. The other 97% is saltwater. Have a good time with that!
SALTWATER
no
no ocean water can not be made drinkable by adding salt it would make it even more salty
Only 2 percent of the earth's water is drinkable because the majority of the earth's water is saltwater found in oceans, making it unsuitable for consumption. The remaining 1% of freshwater is mainly locked in ice caps and glaciers.
Water makers are also known as desalination plants or water desalination systems. These devices are designed to convert saltwater into drinkable freshwater by removing the salt and other impurities from the water.
